If the PRS600 had been out when I was initially looking for a reader, I would have bought it even without the price drop on books. If I were looking to replace my reader now, it would be a strong contender. It has all my high-priority features which the 500 and 505 did not. It's not enough to get me to switch since my current Kindle fills my needs nicely. I also like the convenience of the sample chapters and Whispernet delivery. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony brings out something like that soon. I'm excited about what the next year will bring. If I were a newcomer to readers, it would be a tough choice.

(IMHO), the Kindle has built-in obsolescence due to it's AZW and lack of ePub. So buying a Kindle is like buying a singe core CPU based computer. I cannot see how Amazon will survive without adding ePub support. They won't make it outside the USA for one. By adding a dictionary to the 600, Sony has just upped the stakes and take away the biggest objection to ePub.
